Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US.\nAs AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations.\nFollowing our recent Series E funding round, where we raised $200 million, our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow.\nLocation: Europe remote or London hybrid\nThe role:\nWe're looking for a Staff (L6) Product Designer to lead design for Synthesia's AI Playground: our dedicated generative-media workspace where users experiment with leading AI models to create video clips, images, and motion graphics, then feed those assets into Synthesia Studio videos.\nPlayground sits at an intentional crossroad: it's both a creation destination in its own right and a strategic on-ramp that converts experiments into polished videos. The product is evolving rapidly - from a single-format surface into a multi-format creation hub (video, images, motion graphics) with Templates & Apps ahead.\nYou'll operate as a senior IC: setting direction, influencing roadmap decisions (not just contributing), shaping bets with Product and Engineering leaders and raising the craft bar on how generative tools actually feel.\nIn practice, this role is about solving generative-media design problems, for example:\nDesigning prompt experiences and iteration workflows that make complex AI capabilities feel accessible and powerful - giving users meaningful agency without overwhelming them.\n\nBalancing discovery across multiple media formats so none feels buried, while scaling for Templates, Apps, and future workflows.\n\nDesigning the invisible handoff between Playground creation and Studio editing - so experiments flow naturally into polished videos.\n\nWorking at the frontier of how generative media changes what \"creation\" means, where the best patterns are genuinely still being invented.\n\nIn this role you will:\nOwn Playground's evolution end-to-end: from single-format surface to scalable multi-format creation hub.\n\nSet design direction for discovery, experimentation, and iteration across all formats. Influence adjacent product areas (Studio, Media Library) to stay coherent.\n\nPartner with Product and Engineering to define what \"great\" looks like (principles, quality bar, metrics) and drive toward it.\n\nPrototype and test interaction models quickly. Know when high-fidelity matters versus learning through Lo-Fi.\n\nRaise the bar on craft: prompt UX, format balance, iteration workflows, and the feel of creating with AI at speed.\n\nYou should apply if you bring:\nSignificant experience designing creation tools or generative-media platforms where users explore, iterate, and refine outputs quickly.\n\nStrong craft in interaction and visual design. A track record of shipping delightful experiences around complex workflows.\n\nDeep comfort designing around AI model constraints. You design UX that works with constraints, not around them.\n\nSystems thinking. You can hold the tension between Playground as a destination and as an on-ramp to Studio.\n\nExperience designing multi-format products. You know how to give equal weight to different experiences and scale beyond an initial, focused surface.\n\nExcellent communication in design reviews and cross-functional tradeoffs between user delight and business goals.\n\nA track record of tackling novel problems in fast-moving generative-media spaces and turning early-stage bets into scalable platforms.\n\nThe ability to leverage feedback from users and customers to ensure the product continues to meet real needs - from SMBs shipping quick marketing videos through to Enterprise teams producing at scale.\n\nAt Synthesia we expect everyone to:\nPut the Customer First\n\nOwn it & Go Direct\n\nBe Fast & Experimental\n\nMake the Journey Fun\n\nYou can read more about this in this public Notion page: https://synthesia.notion.site/How-we-work-at-Synthesia-f794caa72f8446efb6be22b551ce0fa2\nBenefits\nA flexible, remote friendly role based out of Europe or one of our hubs in London, Copenhagen, Munich, or Zurich.\n\n25 days of annual leave + public holidays in the country where you are based.\n\nA generous referral scheme.\n\nWork from home set up.\n\nAt Synthesia, you can work from anywhere (within reason) in the world for up to 60 days per year!\n\nA huge opportunity for career growth as you’ll help shape a market-defining product.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4793,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Remote friendly"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Norway","iso":"NO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"region"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"region"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Iceland","iso":"IS","kind":"region"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"region"},{"name":"Liechtenstein","iso":"LI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Video Production","Generative Video"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T10:50:52Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":97,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-25T00:05:06Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/synthesia-product-designer-generative-media-staff-level-l6","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/synthesia-product-designer-generative-media-staff-level-l6.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-25T00:05:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":117,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4883,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-26T00:00:00Z"}}}
